                    [Summary] => 

Our column last week on physical education (PE) and its place and role in the long-delayed K+12 program, elicited reactions, a number of them from parents who take their role in parent-teacher’s associations (PTA) seriously.

It's a pity for the carabao as beast of burden, the uncrowned national animal to the farming folk, to be the butt of unfair barb.

In Erap's heyday as the self-anointed man of the masses, he nursed this claim by gimmickry, speaking in broken or slanted English to endear himself to the "common tao". Thus, the term "carabao" English.

There is another great tragedy that also happened on Aug. 21 and that was the bombing of the Liberal Party candidates at Plaza Miranda in 1971. Former Senator Jovito Salonga was one of the victims of that terroristic attack. Both tragedies bear something in common. To this day, the authorities have not pinpointed the masterminds of those two heinous crimes. The soldiers who escorted Ninoy down the plane are all serving a prison term.
